The big guns are starting to come out to help Cory Booker in his Senate bid.

The Democrat's campaign announced Friday that Vice President Biden will campaign for Booker in New Jersey on Oct. 11, just five days before voters go to the polls in the special election.

Details about the when and where Biden will campaign are still being worked out and were not released by the Booker campaign.

Booker is running against Republican Steve Lonegan in the race to succeed the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a Democrat who represented New Jersey for five terms. Booker leads Lonegan by 12 percentage points among likely voters in a Quinnipiac Poll released earlier this week.

President Obama endorsed the Newark mayor in August. Lonegan has the support of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
